Desvestirse in the imperative: Affirmative/Negative forms

Question

I was looking on 2 verb conjugators on the imperative of desvestirse. (él, ella, usted form)

One gave this as the affirmative and negative command:

Affirmative:

Negative: No se desvista. - Don't get undressed.

The SD conjugator gave what was more of what I would've expected:

Affirmative: Desvista. - Get undressed.

Negative: No se desvista. - Don't get undressed.

Can anyone explain the 'no disponible' aspect from the 1st conjugator? Also, I need the tú form in the negative imperative.

Answer 1

devístete/ te no desvistas (tú)

Thank you. - katydew, Jun 1, 2013

Thanks, E.C. - katydew, Jun 1, 2013

Answer 3

Not recommending any product, but Powerspeak Spanish (available in some libraries as well), which is a beginning program with many gaps, happens to have a nice little section wholly devoted to imperatives, including tú, positive and negative. Many beginning programs have no such section.

Answer 4

In a brilliant poem of León Felipe, there is a subtle play with cryptotype in regard to "vista":

*Siempre habrá nieve altanera

que vista el monte de armiño

y agua humilde que trabaje

en la presa del molino.*

But that's sibjunctive form of vestir! :) - chileno, Jun 1, 2013

Un criptotipo es algo no enunciado sino escondido. - EugenioCosta, Jun 1, 2013

Answer 5

It would really help to have the

tú

negative form listed in the SD conjugator, since it changes from the affirmative.
